Welcome Message

If you are exploring, operating, funding or supporting social enterprises and the environment they operate in, we invite you to the Social Enterprise World Forum, SEWF 2016, in Hong Kong on September 25-27!

Whether you are using social enterprise to end poverty in urban ghettos, build secure food systems in remote rural areas, promote Indigenous culture, meet health needs, create employment opportunities for those with barriers, and address economic inequities and social exclusion, SEWF is an opportunity for you.

Why SEWF when we are all so really busy at the local level, and we know many globalization efforts are the detriment to a community and its economy. Because SEWF turns globalization on its head – we use our worldwide forum to provide the tools that contribute to enhancing your knowledge and skills, building a supportive public policy environment, and creating a network of collaboration and sharing.

Social enterprise is our tool to build healthy communities and vibrant local economies – and SEWF 2016 is the global platform to share your story, learn from colleagues, and celebrate together our struggles and our successes!

David LePage
Chairman, SEWF C.I.C Board

VENUE

Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
The iconic architecture of the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre stands proudly on the waterfront of Hong Kong’s world-famous Victoria Harbor. This is more than simply a breath-taking location – it also places the Centre right at the heart of the city, within the Central Business District.
